Osaka Expo, Japan

We delivered Q-SYS control development and network commissioning for the UK Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka, creating a unified AV environment designed for continuous operation and personalised guest experiences.

World Expo pavilions operate under extreme operational demands, including continuous daily operation, high visitor throughput, tightly synchronised AV systems, and the need to deliver personalised experiences at scale with multi-language support.

In this context, the challenge is not just integration, but creating a system that is operationally robust, scalable, and responsive to individual guest journeys.

Working alongside Creative Technology SI UK, we developed the Q-SYS control layer and commissioned the supporting network infrastructure to ensure all systems operated cohesively and in sync.

Our contributions included:

  • Q-SYS control system development, including programming and configuration to manage system control, operational states, and real-time interaction between AV elements.
  • We developed a language tracking model within Q-SYS enabling the guests to select their preferred language and maintain that selection across five distinct spaces within the pavilion.
  • Audio system integration through Q-SYS audio processing and logic to deliver consistent, language-specific playback across all zones.
  • Network architecture commissioning to support reliable, low-latency communication between systems and tracking mechanisms.
  • System synchronisation and logic coordination across video, audio, and control layers.
  • An operational interface and handover environment that enables operators to manage complex sequences and guest flows with clarity and confidence.

This created a high-performance, guest-responsive control system designed for continuous operation throughout the Expo.

For operators, it provides clear, dependable control over daily operations. For guests, it supports a consistent, language-specific experience across all five spaces while keeping AV systems, tracking, and show sequences working reliably together.
